You pretty much hit the nail on the head, bravia might be worth pursuing but xloud is garbage especially for the kfhd. If you really want to beef up the sound DSP manager would be the way to go. The libs and apk are easily found through a quick Google search, and well worth looking into if you are considering xloud at all. Pretty sure I have a flashable zip around somewhere for ICS roms.

there is other tweak of audio that have more that this, but this is the more stable of all. and was already tested for kindle fire hd !
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Jester6:
No, not acid. DSP manager, the libs and apk come built into cyanogenmod though there is a flashable zip floating around the intertubes as well. DSP is the superior audio enhancement suite imo, if for nothing else than the custom equalizer. I don't like the sound of beats or acid, if I wanted an obscene amount of bass I'd turn up the boost in DSP.

simple, install the one that is dsp with beats audio and see, its exellent, only flash it and it works Make sure to change in SETTINGS/SOUND/MUSIC EFFECTS to AWESOME BEATS. are awesome beats but modded with some dsp files, so thats why it is more heavier

KindlefireHD7 default ebook application

Hello there,

maybe somebody tell me what the name of program/application which display ebook by default in Amazon launcher ? I mean what proccess is starting everytime you open some book ?

And why i am asking for that: default Amazon ebook reader is very light. I like it. And after installing other launcher i lost this option. So i need to switch to Amazon launcher and read book there.

Current solution is that i move all books to the desktop:) its crazy but ok. And there i can launch them.

Or switch to Amazon launcher,

thankx for any hint :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Very likely. I'll look into it.

What you're actually seeing (in Android terminology) is a LockScreen, followed by an UnlockScreen. Many custom ROMs have the option to always display the LockScreen, even when an UnlockScreen is also active. Amazon has chosen to enable that option all the time, most likely so that ads would always be shown when available. I'll look into disabling that behavior. If I recall, it's a fairly easy fix.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
add sound tweaks please, like that beats audio based on dsp !
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
The Amazon Launcher IS the process displaying books. It is not separate. You've pretty much outlined your current options in your post. The only other one would be to install the market version of the Kindle book reader, but then you'd lose Kindle-only features, like X-ray.

I know this is painful and obnoxious, but right now, it's all we've got.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I am most likely not going to integrate sounds tweaks with the ROM. It's easy enough for users to flash the CWM zips they want. That way, everyone has choice.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I don't know what this is, but it's obviously not Kinology (or it's Kinology with some hefty customizations), so I don't think stating that the keyboard works is very helpful.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
you will add bravia engine 2 or any other optimization?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Fixed the overlapping. It did end up involving some code fixes, but once I settled on a technique (having the code ignore the left-side component of the padding), it wasn't too bad. Expect it as part of the next release.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
that was what we all wanted, please add only bravia engine 2, only that, dont add sound tweaks, but add bravia engine please :D, if need help with something, for tweaking or anything i can help you :D

are you interested to have swap in the kindle?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
What I was trying to say is that I don't *need* to add this to the base ROM. The Bravia engine is already a flashable zip, and that zip already works fine with this custom ROM. If you (the end user) want to have that engine, just flash the zip after installing the ROM.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
ok, what are you going to add to this rom, what do you thing for the future

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

you that are a developer that touch this things, is this possible http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411317 in the kindle
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Who knows what the future holds? ;)

The Kindle uses a native library to determine max volume, so the hack in that thread has no effect. The scrolling cache disable hack is realistically for low-memory devices, like older phones, that can't handle the extra memory taken up by the cache. That being said, I did go ahead and try it on the Kindle, and, as expected, it makes scrolling worse - no cache means drawing from scratch every time, which means slower overall drawing.

Edit: Regarding the last statement, after playing with it awhile, I'm not sure whether the change is better, worse, or no different. I'm requesting feedback on it in 1.1.

You are correct - that's a kernel thing. Nothing I can do about it if it isn't supported already.

I *think* this is at the driver/kernel level, and not app controllable. I'm admittedly not very familiar with the fine details of bluetooth, but I didn't see anything that jumped out at me while fixing the issue above.

Weird.. I can use search with no problem... isn't reflashing an option?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
This is just poor programming on BBC's part. The app crashes if it can't connect to the ad/tracking server, which is blocked by the hosts file. So, in a nutshell, you can either have ad-blocking, or a working BBC player.

I will remove that particular server from Kinology's built in hosts file, but if you install AdFree to keep it up-to-date, it will come back.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I'm getting this as well, and it's a strange one indeed. It's claiming to be a permissions error (package manager, not file system), but I haven't touched any of that for this ROM. I'll continue to look into it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bryanchapman9999:

Going back to the original 7.2.3 files, I'm quite frankly completely mystified how UnifiedSearch could ever have worked.

That should cause an FC 100% of the time....

yeah google + have some problem. are you going to theme this rom. going back to google +, i dont know how some people make to fix this problems.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
To spell it out: The base Kinology ROM will not be themed at any time. Two major reasons - First, I think most people will agree that a half-baked theme makes the ROM itself seem half-baked, and creating a fully polished theme takes a significant amount of effort. Second, managing themed resources puts an extra burden on each release; I am only one person and I do this in my spare time - I'd rather focus on functionality and usability than on wading through layouts and images to get them all just right.

Having said all that, as mentioned before, I fully support optional themes created by others. If they are created specifically for Kinology and are reasonably high quality, I would even endorse them. This is a deodexed ROM, so there shouldn't be any roadblocks to starting to create them.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] lordmuggins:
ROM running great here. The only thing is, my search causes a "unified search has stopped" crash, and I tend to accidentally hit it quite a bit! Any ideas?

Also, any other keyboard outside of the stock installed ones will give me the landscape problem. How did you go about fixing that for the other ones?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
This is currently a known issue (sorry, not added to the list yet). I'm working on it, but at the moment I'm completely stymied.

There is no universal fix. The AOSP keyboard happens to have a value in the res for margins on both sides. I modified the code so that the margin only applies to the right side and then set the landscape mode value to the size of the navbar.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] lordmuggins:
No worries; appreciate your work.

Also to note, perhaps it's just for me, but my Amazon prime video doesn't work also - it just loops at loading. Could be an Az issue though, it's never 100% reliable!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:

Got this one figured out. Amazon does some after-the-fact certificate hacking that lets the app work. I've added this to Kinology for the upcoming release.

I do appreciate your taking the extra time to detail this. Still having trouble tracking down what the actual difference might be, though... :/
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Ok, I've done a lot of experimentation with these now. Bravia engine appears to have no effect on the Kindle. I took photos of the tablet from another device with and without the engine files added, and there was no visible difference. xLoud actually makes things quieter and breaks the Dolby Plus functionality. Acid engine results in no sounds whatsoever.

However, I was able to integrate DSPManager, and will be including that in the next release. It is transparent when not activated (meaning it's completely user preference), and Dolby Plus still functions.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] :
Which version of iPlayer are you using?

Even on the stock Amazon ROM it crashes with playback using v1.5.2.170 either downloaded from Amazon Store or Google Play Store.

I've resorted to going back to v1.5.0.666 which doesn't crash & seems to work fine, many of the reviews are stating it's not working with the latest update.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Yeah, the BBC issue doesn't seem to be the ROM's fault. BBC iPlayer appears to be failing when it tries to call out to BBC Media Player. Odd, since it was working for me when I tested it to fix it the first time around, but it definitely isn't working now.

I'd blame BBC for this one.

Edit: On closer inspection, it's actually the "Favourites" feature that's causing the crash. Ironic considering the bullet point on the newest version's update "Favourites are back!"
